Team News

Mainz
FC Heidenheim
  • Nadiem Amiri is suspended after his sending off last Friday, while Lee Jae-Sung is struggling with a muscle injury.
  • Thomas Keller is on his way back from a long-standing ACL injury, as is Julian Niehues. Adrian Beck missed last weekend with a knock, but should return.

Prediction

  • Frank Schmidt's Heidenheim exceeded all expectations last season in their first ever Bundesliga campaign to finish in 8th.
  • Mainz have lost only once in their last 13 games (including last season), while Heidenheim have lost two in a row after winning their first five competive games.
  • Both sides will fancy their chances, but back Mainz to grab a narrow win on home soil.
